there may well be many such apps about, but unfortunately [IMHO] the quality is pretty poor; unbelievably error prone and impenetrable file structure [gallery], hideously ugly [coppermine], clunky and unreliable [jalbum], nice results, but irritatingly unfriendly to work with - and seemingly now defunct [webphotospro], not to mention shutterbug, iview and iphoto... god knows, i must have tried them all over the years and in the end abandoned them all for a home-made template and photoshop's "create web gallery" action.

the market may be crowded, but until someone comes up with an application that can do photo galleries in a mac friendly way, generating clean modern code [no more nested tables, please!] and not locking me into some impenetrable format - if i decide i want to move to another app, the quest continues.

so i welcome another 'player'in this field. judging from previous reviews, gallery designer won't fit the bill for me either, but the more people try to build the perfect gallery app, the greater the chance that eventually someone will get it right!
